Default ordering new fat boy - Aniversary edition ?

The aniversary edition Fat Boy with the 95" motor is available for a little over a $1,000 more. I was wondering if you guys thought it would be worth it. (I put a deposit on one this week).

I plan on stretching the tank and changing the fenders, so all of the gold trim and emblems will be gone, so it is just the big bore I am getting and the polished wheels for the xtra dough.

Thanks for your help.

One of my riding buds has one in black. I think its worth it. The bike has the Stage 1 air cleaner from the factory too so add that to the big bore price and its definitely worth it. He took black pinstripes and covered the gold pinstipes and you can't even tell they're there. The gold emblems look kinda good without the stripes now too. He slammed the rear about 2 inches and put Burly beach bars on it and it looks awesome.

For what it's worth, I think that the anniv. model FB is a great lookin ride and should make anybody happy that is riding on one.

I figured it was worth it. Picked up the Black 15th and love it. I think it would cost more than the 1K to upgrade to the 95" on the 88" Fatboys.

SE AC is included plus you don't need the remap when you switch out the pipes.

Go for it!!!

My 2 cents

It's worth 1,000. Our HD shop has the parts for the upgrade at about 995.00, with labor on top of that.

Regards,

Bill
